Recensie (2)
Claire Danes and Joaquin Phoenix are probably the best thing this strange movie has to offer. Strange because it takes place in the near future but looks no different from our times. I said “looks” on purpose because what might happen later is that you are travelling on the escalators in the subway and you have to step over dead bodies pretending like nothing has happened. The thing is that the movie takes place in some sort of dystopia that explains nothing… and it could maybe explain a thing or two every now and then. Fortunately, Joaquin is a great actor and Claire looks great, so if nothing else, you will be watching two great actors who are stumbling from the pole to the wall and it’s sort of like… nothing.

The film had an interesting theme, it had potential, but lacked quality writing. It took me a while to understand the plot. Just when the pace of the story was supposed to pick up, it started stagnating and it stayed that way. The film was quite boring and at times I found myself battling microsleep, which was more dramatic than anything happening on screen. Two stars are more than enough.
